7 Litres of Agua

Hola

So, I have had 8 hours of spanish so far and all I can say is, its hard...but hopefully it will get easier after 3 weeks

Yesterday was a busy day - I started out at 630 am for a run along the road - they are all dirt in montezuma and i had on my ipod. During the run, i heard this sound of dogs howling...but they sounded like there were howling after they were hurt, more of a crying.....i figured out quickly there were howler monkeys (congo in spanish)...thus the howling. I didn't know what sort of monkeys they were as they scared me enough that I almost turned around and ran back to town, but a nice man on a motorcycle sign languaged to me that they wouldn't hurt me, which was v. good.

then I had 4 hours of basic spainish....learning in humidy is okay when you can hear the waves of the ocean and a waterfall right by you.....

then I had to rush off to get my body beat up in surf lessons...I am happy to annouce that even though I felt like people kept punching me in the stomach, --the waves are pretty intense-- I was able to get up 3 times..not for a long time, but hey 3 times isn't too shabby

then I rushed back for an amazing yoga class in this great pavavillon in the trees over looking the ocean...

all in all, it was an exhuasting day, but totally fun. I will say that I went through 7 litres of water in one 24 hour period...so the part I am not saying is that I am basically sweating all day...all the time....its supposed to be good for your complexion...right?

today has been a little more chill as I am only doing surfing every other day....

my body was greatful of the rest.

that's all for now...more tomorrow with photos

pura vida
